Although unless it's changed the BT modem out of the box has QoS enabled and seems unable to go above 16.5Mb/s. I unlocked mine and turned off QoS so I get 18.5Mb/s.


This is from an ECI modem - straight out of the box! 18.65 Mbps upstream

Perhaps it's only the Huawei and/or perhaps it was fixed. It'd be interesting to know from Mr Saffron if speed test results are showing any kind of pattern like that. You can see where I disabled it here:

I would have expected AAISP to know better... they haven't even got Mbps right, putting just M ... which could mean Miles.

Yes, they do appear to be breaking the rules, although "capped to" is an interesting variation on "up to"

This: http://www.icuk.net/broadband/fibre_to_the_cabinet_f... and this: https://order.aa.net.uk/h1order.cgi

Thanks - very naughty of them - although does the fact that icuk are advertising "Business FTTC" let them off the rules that apply to consumers?

So FTTC are really 76/19 not 80/20.
Er that's exactly what BT, PlusNet and Sky advertise. An upto 76Mb/s down and upto 19.5Mb/s up service on the appropriate packages...
